// Use Hooks to control!
const {
canStart, // a boolean indicate if you can start tour guide
start, // a function to start the tourguide
stop, // a function to stopping it
eventEmitter, // an object for listening some events
} = useTourGuideController()
// Can start at mount 🎉
// you need to wait until everything is registered 😁
React.useEffect(() => {
if (canStart) {
// 👈 test if you can start otherwise nothing will happen
start()
}
}, [canStart]) // 👈 don't miss it!
const handleOnStart = () => console.log('start')
const handleOnStop = () => console.log('stop')
const handleOnStepChange = () => console.log(`stepChange`)

TourGuide
props:
interface TourGuideZoneProps {
zone: number // A positive number indicating the order of the step in the entire walkthrough.
tourKey?: string // A string indicating which tour the zone belongs to
isTourGuide?: boolean // return children without wrapping id false
text?: string // text in tooltip
shape?: Shape // which shape
maskOffset?: number | Offset // offset around zone for each direction
borderRadius?: number // round corner on mask when shape is rectangle (default)
keepTooltipPosition?: boolean
tooltipBottomOffset?: number
children: React.ReactNode
}
type Shape = 'circle' | 'rectangle' | 'circle_and_keep' | 'rectangle_and_keep'

labels?: Labels

verticalOffset?: number
wrapperStyle?: StyleProp<ViewStyle>
maskOffset?: number | Offset
borderRadius?: number
animationDuration?: number

handleNext?(): void
handlePrev?(): void

}
interface Labels {

previous?: string
next?: string
finish?: string
}
In order to start the tutorial, you can call the start
function from useTourGuideController
hook:
function HomeScreen() {
const { start } = useTourGuideController()
React.useEffect(() => {
start()
}, [])
render() {
// ...
}
}
export default HomeScreen

Using Multiple Tours
If you'd like to have multiple tours (different pages, differnt user types, etc) you can pass in a tourKey
to useTourGuideController
to create a tour that is keyed to that tourKey
. Important If you use a keyed tour, in order for the TourGuideZone
components to register correctly you must do one of two things. Either (1) pass along the tourKey
to the TourGuideZone
components, or (2) extract the TourGuideZone
components from the hook itself
(1) If you want to pass along the tourKey
import { TourGuideZone, useTourGuideController } from 'rn-tourguide'
const {
canStart, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
start, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
stop, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
eventEmitter, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
tourKey, // <-- Extract the tourKey
} = useTourGuideController('results')
return (
<TourGuideZone
tourKey={tourKey} // <-- Pass in the tourKey
zone={2}
text='Check on your results'
>
{/** Children */}
</TourGuideZone>
)
Or (2) if you want to extract the components directly from the hook
import { useTourGuideController } from 'rn-tourguide'
const { canStart, start, stop, TourGuideZone } =
useTourGuideController('results')
return (
<TourGuideZone // <-- No need to pass in the tourKey
zone={2}
text='Check on your results'
>
{/** Children */}
</TourGuideZone>
)
If you use multiple tours and would like to use the startAtMount
prop on the TourGuideProvider
component, then pass in the string of the tour you'd like to start
Custom tooltip component
You can customize the tooltip by passing a component to the copilot
HOC maker. If you are looking for an example tooltip component, take a look at the default tooltip implementation.
const TooltipComponent = ({
isFirstStep,
isLastStep,
handleNext,
handlePrev,
handleStop,
currentStep,
}) => (
// ...
);
<TourGuideProvider {...{tooltipComponent: TooltipComponent}}>
// ...
</TourGuideProvider>
Custom tooltip styling
You can customize tooltips style:
const style = {
backgroundColor: '#9FA8DA',
borderRadius: 10,
paddingTop: 5,
}
<TourGuideProvider {...{ tooltipStyle: style }}>
// ...
</TourGuideProvider>
Custom mask color
You can customize the mask color - default is rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4)
, by passing a color string to the copilot
HOC maker.
<TourGuideProvider {...{ backdropColor: 'rgba(50, 50, 100, 0.9)' }}>
// ...
</TourGuideProvider>
Custom mask offset
You can customize the mask offset by passing either an Offset
type object or a number to the TourGuideZone
component. Defaults to 0 = no offset.
<TourGuideZone maskOffset={{left: 60}}>
// ...
</TourGuideZone>
Custom labels (for i18n)
You can localize labels:
<TourGuideProvider
{...{
labels: {
previous: 'Vorheriger',
next: 'Nächster',
skip: 'Überspringen',
finish: 'Beenden',
},
}}
>
// ...
</TourGuideProvider>
Listening to the events
Along with start()
, useTourGuideController
passes copilotEvents
function to the component to help you with tracking of tutorial progress. It utilizes mitt under the hood, you can see how full API there.
List of available events is:
-
start
— Copilot tutorial has started. -
stop
— Copilot tutorial has ended or skipped. -
stepChange
— Next step is triggered. PassesStep
instance as event handler argument.
Prevent Outside Interaction
Sometimes you need to prevent users to interact with app while tour is shown, in such case preventOutsideInteraction
prop is up for you.
default: false
<TourGuideProvider preventOutsideInteraction>
<AppContent />
</TourGuideProvider>
